Then this means that you have not completed Step 3 of the BP Compatibility process, i.e., fixing alignment and HTML structure of BP template files to use your own theme’s HTML structure. Check if your WP theme has already been “template-packed” in list near the end of the webpage linked to above.

i dont see it in the template packed themes list, i cant figure out where to edit the code. i have done it in the style.css and placed that same style.css in the child folder it created as well. Im new to wordpress so im not familiar with how it intergrated it to my current theme. i went to the plugin/buddypress and dont see a style theme in there. i did change the divs in the index.php of each folder as instructed by other links and that somewhat fixed the issue of the width. any thoughts?

@rafferjr Based on the HTML structure of your theme, you’d need to use the first option, i.e., change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your admired theme folder in server during the compatibility process.
